Ok, I'm about 3 weeks and 3 days post-op. My surgeon at my follow-up 3 days ago said I should start trying to eat some real foods, and specifically said that occasionally I could have a piece of a small piece of toast. So, tonight I toasted a small piece of honey wheat bread in the toaster and ate it without any problem in about 3 minutes.

Suddenly, about 5 minutes, I start experiencing a lot of nausea and fullness. It basically felt like my stomach was filling up foam or something. I spent about 10 minutes excessively salivating and spitting into the toilet, until I finally threw up foamy some foamy liquid.

So, my question, what does this mean? Does this mean I had some kind of blockage in my stomach or does it just mean that i'm not ready for bread yet?

(Sorry for the gross imagery).

I heard that's like dumping syndrome or frothing your pouch doesn't like bread let alone sweet bread possibly????

That's called the slimies or the foamies. It happens when you either eat too much, too fast, or the wrong kind of food. If you try toast again, eat a much smaller piece and eat it much slower.

I still haven't had bread, 3 months out.

I am 5.5 mths out and haven't tried bread yet. With protein first, I just don't have room. As you add a new food, go very slowly and try one new food at a time. I have not had any issues with eating.

I believe you didn't tolerate well the toast. It happened to me a couple of times when introducing new foods. First time I ate soft fruits and also first time I eat scrambled eggs at 3 weeks (allowed in my plan).

Too much food too fast, and it's coming back up. Eat more slowly. It's easy to overdo it while we learn our new limits.

Remember foods that swell, like bread, rice, Pasta, etc. will fool you so you have to stop early, before you think you're done.

I had the worst time when I was pregnant post sleeve, because I kept overdoing it.

Slow pace, small bites and tiny portions. My nose starts to run when I'm full. You'll learn your signals soon enough.
